elcome to Sunday Refresh 🙏, a column that seeks to highlight inspirational songs to uplift the spirit.  These tracks that appear on Sunday Refresh may or may not be faith-based or religious; the goal is for them to make you feel better – refreshed.  So, for the 23^rd edition of Sunday Refresh, we highlight 🎵 “Living Testimony” as performed by 🎙 Doug Williams and 🎙 Joe Ligon.

“I am, a living testimony / I could have been dead and gone / But Lord, you let me live on.” Now that’s a good word, isn’t it? 🎙 Doug Williams, a solo artist and member of legendary gospel collective, 🎙 The Williams Brothers, and the late, great 🎙 Joe Ligon of the legendary gospel collective 🎙 Mighty Clouds of Joy, join forces on 🎵 “Living Testimony.” “Living Testimony” is a rousing gem from Williams’ 1995 LP, 💿 Heartsongs.  Also, worth noting, both groups have performed “Living Testimony,” as expected.

That testimony which Williams and Ligon tout, is being alive, thanks to G-O-D 🙏.  “I’ve seen miracles after miracles / Performed in my life,” they sing, adding, “When I see danger that I couldn’t see / You kept your angels all around me.” God is mercy, protection, and everything, as “Living Testimony” puts it. Making “Living Testimony” even more spiritually charged is the energetic instrumental supporting it, as well as the supporting choir.  Again, even if religion isn’t your cup of tea, the positive, uplifting vibes of this celebration of being alive can’t be denied.
